Fit and Sizing

The original Dickies Pro Cargo Work Shorts Size 38 are now sold out. You can still browse similar practical styles in our workwear shorts collection.

Cargo work shorts usually have a regular or relaxed fit. They often give more room through the seat and thigh than slimmer casual shorts.

This makes them practical for movement, work, DIY, outdoor use and everyday wear. The fit should feel comfortable, not tight or restrictive.

When buying pre-loved work shorts, do not rely only on the label size. Compare the waist, rise, length and thigh room with shorts you already own.

Practical Features to Check

Workwear shorts are useful because they are built around function. Before buying, check the pockets, fabric weight, fastening, belt loops, hems and waistband.

Cargo pockets are especially important if you want the shorts for practical use. Check that the pocket edges, stitching and closures still look strong.

With second-hand workwear, high-wear areas matter. Look closely at the crotch seam, pocket corners, button, zip, hems and waistband.

Why Dark Grey Workwear Is Easy to Style

Dark grey is one of the easiest workwear colours to wear. It pairs well with black, white, navy, khaki, olive, beige and denim blue.

For a simple outfit, wear dark grey cargo shorts with a plain T-shirt, work shirt, hoodie or lightweight jacket. You can browse casual layers in our men’s T-shirts collection.

Versatility and Styling Ideas

Dickies work shorts can be styled in several ways. For a workwear look, pair them with a plain tee, overshirt and boots.

For a casual summer outfit, wear them with trainers and a simple top. Dark grey also works well with camo, olive and military-inspired layers.

Why Buy Pre-Loved Workwear?

Pre-loved workwear can be a strong choice. Many pieces were originally made for regular use, movement and durability.

A good pair of work shorts can still have plenty of life left. Check the fabric, seams, pockets and fastening before buying.

Buying second-hand also keeps durable clothing in use for longer. It gives an existing garment another useful life instead of replacing it with new fast fashion.

What to Check Before Buying Second-Hand Dickies Shorts

Before buying pre-loved Dickies shorts, check the actual photos carefully. Look for fading, fabric wear, pocket damage, loose stitching, marks and fraying.

Also check for zip issues, button wear and any signs of repair. Condition is especially important with workwear, because some pieces may have been used harder.

Clear photos, honest condition notes and measurements make the buying decision easier. They also help you compare the item with clothing you already own.
